Embattled Senate President, Bukola Saraki on Thursday at the Presidential Villa, maintained that Nigeria’s future is bright and will get better with the years.
At the 55th independence anniversary celebration which held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, Saraki stressed that it would no longer be business as usual.
He said the National Assembly would continue to make laws that would impact positively on Nigerians.
“I am hopeful and confident that the future is very bright. In next few years, things will be even better.
“It will not be business as usual. We will ensure that the National Assembly will be people-oriented and will make laws that will make impact on Nigerians,”he said.
The event was the ceremonial change of guards held at the forecourt of the Presidential Villa (Aso Rock) Abuja and this was the first time Saraki would openly visit the Presidential Villa since emerging as Senate President.
Mahmud Mohammed, Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), said Nigeria was on the right path and “We will make it by the grace of God”.
John Odigie-Oyegun, National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), also said that Nigeria at 55, finally discovered that it was on the wrong road and made a right turn.
”At 55 we have finally discovered that we are on the wrong road. We have finally moved to the road that leads to progress, hope, employment, prosperity and that will lead to Nigeria, finally attaining that greatness that God destined it for. We are on the way” he said.
